Today's Progress - It's good!!

Today we planted the last 6 roses which arrived this week - all hybrid teas which are Weeks, Star and Jackson Perkins too.  We still have one "improved Blaze" climber from Witherspoon Rose Culture  to build a small split rail fence for it to climb on  - then we will quickly put that into the ground.

The electric  fence is also installed and plugged in for the first night.  We need it to train the deer not to eat my rose bushes.  This will be my hope .  I am also going to start spraying the Liquid Fence deer and rabbit deterrent this weekend after Easter.  Since I've heard that you can smell it for about a week - I will not spray until our family has left after Easter!

Here are a few pictures of the final planting and installment of the one wire electric fence.  I hope you all enjoy it.  Please leave a note below to let me know you were here!  It's lonely in the message department!



we have some Easter pinwheels blowing in the breeze right now  -they may be kitsch-y but I kind of like them!


These posts will be cut off right above the wire and painted the dull green of the trellis and bird feeder trellis
